Hey up, I'm after some help in how/where I can get drum and simple percussion tracks from to use in either Cubase LE or Sony Acid pro 7. I'm recording some acoustic guitar and vocals but would like to add some simple beats without having to get a drum kit. I thought that both Cubase and Acid had drum loops or drum machine type things in them but I cant frigure them out for the life of me!

Hello Everyone, I did music recordings in mid 80's with moderate success. Now 20 some years later I have an offer from a company in the UK interested republishing one of my song on a compilation project. I have received a contract, but would like to receive feedback on red flags to look for or get advice on a counter offer. All help is appreciated.

Regards, Al W

Does this DAW allow you to incorporate your own instruments?

And if so what do i need in order to do that?

Thanks ahead of time

I'm looking to create a little home studio, and 'm looking for a recording interface for my laptop. I'm using vista 32, and don't have firewire.

I'm only recording vocals, and guitars, so I would only need 2 channels. What is the best solution for this?

Feel free to skip down if you would like. No hard feelings.

Hi there,
I'm looking to get back into recording my own stuff again and was wondering if anyone had any advice on which home recording studio to get. I started off years ago with fostex 4 channel tape studios and my last one was a 4 channel MD recording studio however I have certain requirements now that Id like to meet and was looking for some guidance or advice.

I'm new to recording songs, but I'm a good producer. Anyway, I need to know the basics of recording a song. How many times do you record the chorus or you record once and use reverb? Also do you record the chorus each time after the verse? Last and not least do you have to use compression or just mange the gain well? I mean what parts are commpression used on anyway?
